Okay my goal is to do a 365 photo & blog for the year 2013. Not only will it help me learn more about my camera but will FINALLY stop procrastinating and do what I keep telling myself I will do tomorrow. Plus I really need to soak in the kids little moments.
So here we go!
Today is not day one but NYE. Amirah is at her friend Aubreys having a sleepover, Kai just got a nice dose of Benadryl and headed off to bed...yes, she had a runny nose...ok, ok no runny nose maybe a sneeze here and there. Heck it's 11pm I need that kid to sleep.
And Nate is FINALLY asleep himself. Poor guy has a 3 week long virus. We have been to the dr and the hospital a million times and the poor guy cant catch a break. Apparently he has a virus *unknown name* that attacks his lungs. Well when we started breathing treatments, he broke out in a rash. We stopped the breathing treatments and the rash faded after 3-4 days but his lungs got bad again. Dr said we have to treat his lungs in order for the virus to leave his body. So we are back on Xopenex 4x every 4 hours as well as Zyrtec 2x a day, Zantac at night, and rotation of Tylenol and Motrin every 4-6 hrs.
Gah, I am WHOOPED.
So here is to him healing quickly. Not to mention I really REALLY need him sleep "trained" before Randy leaves.
This whole waking up every 3 hours for a bottle is killer. And yes, it's not my first rodeo...I know the whole, "well let him cry".
Look, I'm glad your kid cried a good whole 6 minutes and then curled on up to sleep in his/her bed but no...Nathan cried an hour and a half...AN HOUR AND A FREAKIN HALF.
And no, it's not me who is "aww I feel so bad"..it's more like, "OMG I AM GOING TO RIP MY HAIR OUT JUST GO TO SLEEP ALREADY".
so basically I need some heavyduty sanity meds or I need a week vacation while someone else does this "training".
I will follow up with progress though. Hope it's day 2 or 3 that we get it down. rotfl who am I kidding. lol
Oh and yes, I do know I do photography and Nathan has YET to have his first birthday pictures done.
1. Hello, did you not see where I said I am a procrastinator? seriously...I could win an award for that. sad, I know
2. he's been sick for 3 weeks...I want my boyhappy
3. procratination with his clothing choice lol eventually I will find something cute.
And no, we did not have a "party"
We celebrated with family as I did my other kids. Yes, I LOVE birthdays...heck I am OBSESSED with birthdays. They are a HUGE deal. When I met Randy I found it so strange that he NEVER celebrated his birthday...since BIRTH. :(
So yes, we make it a HUGE deal and make the birthday person feel VERY speacial that day.
But...he's ONE...I think he slept most of the day...
And like one mom said, birthdays are becoming VERY competitive like Pinterest is awesome and all but hot dang it's crazy. "who can have the biggest, most coolest, creative, super awesome, yummiest birthday EVER?!" and then heaven forbid two kids have a birthday 3 days apart and it's war!
no thanks, he enjoyed his OOH LA LA cupcake with mama...alone. (:
And let me tell you, it was THE BEST way I could have spent it.
just me and him...
enjoyin his birthday and eating his cupcake as I soak in each of his beautiful features (eyes and smile are TO DIE FOR on this kid).
Now, next year come his 2nd birthday...be prepared...
IT'S GOING DOWN!
rotfl kidding
I guess for those just reading...you MIGHT want to know exactly who I am. However I am sure you already know...or not.
I am Amanda. I am married to a man named Randy (though I call him Eugene)who is without a doubt my soul mate. We have been together 9 years and married for 6 ::wow that went fast:: We laugh..a lot...about the silliest of things. We have traditions...especially for holidays or birthdays. I am not at all a materialistic girl. If he bought me a piece of expensive jewelry,more than likely I will yell at him for spending too much money that could have been used towards a bill. LOL I prefer dinner, a movie, and just me and him time. ::insert heart::
Our relationship is not like a "common" one. He's the cleaner. In fact, if he is out of town working...more than likely the house is a disaster. Yeah, just NOT my thing. And cooking...well I got better. It's not that I can't..I just prefer not to. I do love to bake though. I could bake and bake all day! So yeah...cooking we rotate (that is when he is home from work), cleaning... well
he usually does the dishes because I can't stand to them and honestly they will sit in the sink and I could care less.
I do the washing, drying of laundry and we both fold and put up.
I do the "pick up" around the house and he does the deep cleaning. He loves it, he's OCD about it. See we make the perfect pair. lol
I am stubborn and sometimes mean. I am not the woman to be told by a man to "get up and make me a sandwich" or "wheres my dinner woman".
You will be castrated within minutes...my husband or not...
if you have balls
I will remove them
slowly (:
We LOVE animals. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats.
He is not a cat person but to live with me, you must love cats.
so he "lives" with em lol
He made me fall in love with him all over again when
1. he called me one day to tell me there was someone giving away a male tuxedo kitten. ::gah:: seriously? you dont like cats but you know I just DROOL over a precious tuxedo furball?! (Oreo is now 7 yrs old)
2. Not long ago I saw a helpless baby opossum and he got out and saved him (captured with a blanket and put it in a field) all to make ME happier. (:
God love that man.
He is seriously amazing. he is by far my biggest supporter in everything I do. He does so much for our family and for me...I want nothing more than to show him my appreciation.
Maybe I can sucker up my hatred for cleaning and just start doing it
or hire a maid and call it a day.
ha, at least its clean right? lol
I have 3 stepchildren
Jaylon, Haley, and Brandy whom we dont see as often as we would like but
enjoy the time when we do.
Together we have THREE children.
Amirah (UH-MEER-UH which means Princess in ARABIC)...she is 8...she is my perfect child. My first born, my heart.She is the sweetest person you could ever meet. She carries her heart on her shoulder and I knowin the future I will punch someone in the gut for taking advantage of her kindness. She thinks about everyone else...all the time. She is a giver. A giver of love, hugs, smiles, sweetness. She is tall for her age and often mistaken for being older. She is a bull in a china closet, bless her soul. She could sing and dance all day. Loves to learn anything and everything. Could live outdoors. Born a mermaid. Never used floaties. Fell in the pool at 10 mths and floated like she was born to be in the water. Has the MOST beautiful skin ever. It's like melted caramel and oh so yummy. I had the worst pregnancy with her. I nearly died delivering her. I would do it a million times over for her. I expect so much from her and too often fail to show or express my appreciation and love for her and that is changing. I will stop saying, "just a minute" or "hold on". I will listen to every word you have to say. I will hug you more, kiss you often, and hold your hand at every chance you let me. I will get in to a doctor. I will get medication to help with my depression. I will. There is no more tomorrow. It is today. For you my child I will change and be a better mommy. We will have mommy and mira days...always. I love her more than words could ever express.
Kailah Jade (KY-LA means beautiful in Hawiian)...5 years old going on 30.Mama's baby J. The spit fire, tornado, firecracker, little sheldon. From the moment she was born, she was a handful. I cried almost every night because this child would not sleep. Then she turns 1 and doesnt EVER eat solids until 3 yrs old. Autistic. Smart. LOVES bugs. Loves nature. Asks a million questions. Has the most expressive face. Dramatic. Will put you in your place faster than you could blink. Always teases her big sister but they are the best of friends. Doesnt do change well. Loves mac n cheese. Will make you laugh until you pee. Independent. only cuddles when SHE wants to. Mamas girl.
Nathan (if you cant pronouce it, please exit this blog). just turned one. Mamas boy but loves him some daddy. Has the biggest most heart melting brown eyes ever. A smile that will make you drool. And curly locks that make any woman jealous. Very independent. LOVES LOVES to dance. Goes to sleep easily if you rub his ears or play with his hair. Enjoys eating but his tummy disagrees with most foods. Attached to his almond milk in his "baba". Sneaky. Adores his sisters. Sleeps in bed with mama. giggles a lot. says "mama".."daddeeeee"..."hiiiii"..."noooosh"...and "taaaak eww (thank u)"
My last little indian. My baby.
So that's my kids. (: A few more things about me and I will end this novel.
I love my hair. I prefer it curly and get offended when people suggest I go straight. I don't do diets. I eat a lot of southern yummy goodness. I could eat seafood everyday....like raw seafood. yum. Starbucks is my addiction. Chocolate cures everything. My pets are like my kids. I hate animal abusers. I am super family oriented. My mom is my best friend. I hate letting my parents or anyone down. I am my own worst critic. I tend to let people take advantage though my goal is to get a little meaner. lol I love new movies. I dont do summer well. I love fall. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I was born a writer. I hate math. I jam to country music. I am a night owl. Mornings are the worst. I love my siblings. No matter what they do wrong...I will ALWAYS hold their back. I fight with my last breath for my kids. I vaccinate my kids and avoid those who refuse to vaccinate theirs. It disgusts me. I like traditions. I dont like to travel. The 90s were the greatest years. I always have my cell phone in hand. I recently got cable for the first time in...um years. lol I am cheap. I hate complaining. I get excited over coupons or a great bargain. I never shop for myself. I often feel guilty for stupid things. I still wear clothes from highschool. ;)
Ok thats enough for now...I wrote my novel.
It is now
JAN. 1st 2013
365 begins
